When I'm With You (Little Hollow Series, #2)(84)

Standing in this space with the people I love the most in this world, I realize that my heart has thawed, I’m no longer the icy bitch I once was. I’ve made new friends and my best friend, the one I see as a sister, has found her happiness. It’s more than I can ask for.

Hunter wraps an arm around me and I lock my fingers with his, looking at our lock and key tattoos we got last week and I grin. He sees me looking and places his signature kiss on my temple and I realize again, it’s because of him. The fire to my ice.

This perfectly imperfect man has strolled back into my life again, flipped my view on everything upside down, and made me feel like I’m enough just as I am. And when I’m in his arms, I know I’m safe. I don’t have to pretend to be someone I’m not just to fit in. He takes every piece of me just as I am, and loves me for it.

I’m not a product of my upbringing or experiences. Neither of us are. I’m a project in the making for my future, and hell, I’m going to take it by the horns and rock the fuck out of it, not caring what anyone else thinks about me.

I said I wasn’t an icy bitch anymore, but I haven’t lost my edge.
